ARCTIC CIRCLE 2025

NEW - 2025 TOUR EXTENDED TO 20 DAYS, NOW INCLUDING FINLAND

DETAILS: 23 January, 2025 (20 Days) - Ex Leknes, Norway  - BOOK NOW ONLY - 8 Spaces Available

We are now taking bookings for our January 2025 Arctic Circle departure.

This photography adventure is based in the Northern Hemisphere winter. Shorter days, provide long hours of dawn and dusk light, providing amazing photographic opportunities, surrounded by a rugged winter landscape like no other. And includes the opportunity to experience once in a life time activities such as snow mobiles, dog sledding, whale watching, visiting the world famous Ice Hotel, and of course Aurora hunting.

In 2019 we included Norways Polar park into the itinerary. This provided us a way to experience much of the wildlife of the area, which can prove to be extremely elusive in winter. It was warmly welcomed by clients. And has now become a permanent part of the Arctic Circle Tour.

Likewise in 2020 we included for the first time, a Sami Reindeer experience. This addition allowed clients to experience reindeer closeup, and learn more about the culture and customs of the local indigenous Sami people. This also proved to be very popular, and we made the Sami experience, a permanent part of the Arctic Circle Tour in 2023.

2025 sees the trialing of a tour extension. Where for the first time, we have extended the tour from its previous 17 days, to 20 days. This will allow us tour to Finland for the first time (with a group). Where we will base ourselves in Rovaniemi, better known as Santa Clauses village, for a few days. If you're interested in meeting Santa Claus, and experiencing the surrounding area, then make sure you Book the 2025 tour. As this as a trial, we can’t guarantee it for following years.

As with all our tours, it is open to all skill levels, and non photographing partners.

The Arctic Circle tour is a small group tour (maximum of 8 people), so contact us NOW!, if you are interested in joining the group.
